7 Vests Only Old Money Wears (And Why It's Never Patagonia)

7 Vests Only Old Money Wears (And Why It's Never Patagonia) Seven vests old money actually wears, and why not one of them is a Patagonia. This video breaks down the best old money vests and gilets, from the Barbour quilted gilet to the Filson Mackinaw wool vest, and explains what Patagonia itself said about corporate logo vests in twenty twenty-one. You'll see how a Midtown finance uniform became a cliché, why Patagonia stopped authorizing logos on its products, and what separates a vest built for weather and work from one built to advertise an employer. Along the way we cover Herno down gilets from Lake Maggiore, loden from Munich's Lodenfrey, Harris Tweed protected by an Act of Parliament, Jamieson's Fair Isle slipovers from Shetland, and the suit waistcoat with its famous undone bottom button. Every pick comes with a maker, a founding date and an honest asterisk where one applies, including who owns Filson today. If you care about quiet luxury, heritage menswear and buying clothes that stay yours long after a job changes, this is the shortlist.
